There are many, many many many many steemians that have inspired be. To be fair on this post, I will only choose one: @whoshim.
He works hard for ever poem that he posts. He works on it for days, polishing it, and it is always an exceptional result. Furthermore, he gives advice to other poets at the isleofwrite, and definitely taught me a thing or two! Although there are others that write exceptional poetry and help out others, I think that he deserves this 'nomination', as he is the one who gets the least reward for it. A lot of his work goes onto discord and does not appear on steemit (his constructive criticism on my poems, etc.) - so I have to hand it to him. Thank you for making steemit a much better experience for me and tens (or hundreds) of other poets! <3
